XCOR Unveils Suborbital Space Vehicle
Today in Los Angeles, a private space company unveiled the latest entrant in the race to send paying passengers into suborbital space. The Lynx, in development by XCOR Aerospace, is envisioned as a two-seat vehicle that will allow a paying passenger to ride up front with the pilot to experience weightlessness and see the Earth from space.

And how in the world can that company make money off of a $100,000 dollar ticket? or even a million? Wouldn't it like cost a lot more than that to put that craft into space. What would be really awsome is if you were up there for like a day or two and like take a space walk. DarkFx has the right idea i think when he says that they should make the thing bigger. not 1000x by any means but big enough so that maybe 20 people could go at a time. I'll bet it would actually make the per person ticket price go down.

Observing EnviroLent
Bostons doing it. D.C.s doing it. The entire Church of Englands doing it. Christians around the world are giving up something besides chocolate and potato chips this year for Lent. Theyre giving up their carbon footprint.

Your Burger on Biotech
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/food_drink/Your_Burger_on_Biotech'; If the biotech industry has its way, ordering a hamburger might soon sound something like this: one charbroiled cloned-beef patty, with genetically modified cheese, lab-grown bacon and vitamin-C-fortified lettuce, on a protein-spiked bun. The burger of the future is delicious, nutritious and contains more engineering than a stealth bomber.

How It Works: The Endoscope Camera in a Pill
Pop this pill, and eight hours later, doctors can examine a high-resolution video of your intestines for tumors and other problems, thanks to a new spinning camera that captures images in 360 degrees. Developed by the Japanese RF System Lab, the Sayaka endoscope capsule enters clinical trials in the U.S. this month.
